To contribute to the understanding of the physical mechanisms at work during theinitial phase and early evolution of erupting prominences, we analyze combined observations from ground-based and space-borne instruments. We present two case studies, which occurred at two different phases of the solar cycle, namely on March 2, 2002 and on April 16, 2012. In particular, we show the results of a morphological and kinematical analysis and interpret them in terms of available theoretical models.
